We love a good light-filled space, but this year we are taking our dinner parties to the streets with moody velvet lounges, sultry lighting and the twinkling lights of a cityscape as our  backdrop. We invite you to kick off the year by hosting your next event or dinner with friends at a cool cosmopolitan cocktail bar or a nightclub with live jazz, prosecco tastings, dj sets and disco balls. Grab your group, hop on the subway and head out for a night of Carrie Bradshaw inspired casual conversations, bottle service and a heckuva good time at one of these spectacular spaces.  Immerse yourself in the odyssey.

It’s that time of year again, when your group chat starts blowing up with “We should totally get together for the holidays!” texts. But before you default to partying in somebody’s living room — and risk a repeat of last year, when there were too many ugly holiday sweaters in one place — why not explore the charm of holiday cafes and hideaways? Check out some of our favorite cozy cafés that are serving up everything your festive heart desires.  Yes, we’re talking twinkling lights that make everyone look like they got 8 hours of sleep, seasonal drinks that taste like December and whipped cream had a baby, and enough comfortable seating to accommodate your entire inner circle. (Even that friend who shows up late with three more people than you expected. And an ugly holiday sweater.)

Parties in Los Angeles are a year-round affair where every season is rooftop season and the beach is just as lovely in winter as it is in summer. As the year draws to a close, we’re dressing for the weather we want (at least sweaters make sense in your freezing office) and planning our company holiday parties. Whether you work in the soaring high rises of downtown or a trendy warehouse in Silver Lake, your company deserves a holiday party venue unique to your team’s vibe. From private estates overlooking the ocean in Malibu to chic lounges in Chinatown to old-world theaters in Hollywood, there’s something for every team in every pocket of LA.

As we reflect on 2018 and all that it held in the design realm from new restaurant openings to the most wanted hotel stays, some themes rang true throughout: cookie cutter is out, the right kind of DIY is in, and carrying one theme or trend throughout your home, hotel, venue, shop or restaurant is definitely out. Expressing your unique personality through a variety of styles, collected items, and special finds make for a timeless yet on-trend space. We partnered with Hayneedle, the online home furnishings and décor store (including the world’s largest outdoor living selection), to break down six design trends for 2019 and how to get the look in your own space. From ultra-modern Scandi design trends to bringing back more traditional styles in your home, find your look for the new year with this guide.
